Mask — by the entrance

I was not a fan of this idol related item. Not only it seemed like I want to look like an idol trying to hide from paparazzi at the airport, it also made me hard to breath. Funnily, now, this particular design of mask that I rather not wear become my daily uniform. Obvious function aside, I admit that they are stylish, comfortable, and simple enough to wear everyday. Another reason I chose this is because it is one of a must have items nowadays.

Souvenir — in the living room

Among other souvenir I’ve bought before, none have the same shape as this one. It is made of glass or maybe some type of crystal. It has the shape of a cube that cut at one corner. The cut corner act as the axis so that the cube can spin. The top three sides show three different pictures of most famous tourist places in South Korea. I chose this because I think this souvenir is a new innovation. Rather of buying postcards or magnet pieces, we can buy this one instead. The beauty value is high and the memory attached to this piece are pleasant.

Figurine — in the bedroom

The reason why I chose this is because I admire the details the maker put. I’ve made some sculptures myself and I know how hard it is to make with a medium size. This one is probably approximately 30 cm tall and the position of the figurine is sharp — that is why it needs to be sustained by a pole. The little curves of the hair and feather vest are incredible. I’m also amazed by the coloring of them. They are so natural (real-life like) and neat!

Towel — from the bathroom

It wasn’t my intention to chose this as my selected object. I was out of idea when I stared at this. It struck me how important a towel truly is to humans. Its essential! A necessity! Well, at least for me, I couldn’t imagine myself without towel. Probably I had to air dry myself.
